PASCAGOULA, Mississippi -- Pascagoula senior standout wide receiver Jaylen Smith announced via his twitter account Thursday night that he has committed to the University of Louisville.

Smith becomes the third Panther this year to confirm his choice of where to play college ball next season, following defensive linemen Keith Joseph, Jr. (Mississippi State) and Jauan Collins (Southern Mississippi).

The 6-foot-3, 200 pounder had drawn interest from as many as 20 major colleges. He totaled 724 yards on 33 receptions as a junior in 2013, averaging almost 22 yards per catch. Smith is also a dangerous weapon on special teams returning kicks. He also led the Panthers with nine touchdown catches.
